Abstract: A container 10 for a liquid medicament suspension, e.g. an insulin crystal suspension, has a tube 11 with a sealing piston 13, a cap 16, and a mixing element 20 which moves along the tube 11 to assist mixing the suspension. The element 20 is guided by the inner surface of the tube 11 and has restricted lateral movement but is free to move axially, for example, by tilting or end to end inversion of the container. Flow passages such as apertures and peripheral recesses are provided in the mixing element which can serve to promote turbulent flow. 
     The containers are particularly suited for use as multi-dose cartridges for pen-like injection devices or for portable infusion devices which have piston- operating mechanisms to co-operate with the container piston.

Abstract: A satellite based telecommunications system having a multiple registration location register which enables a terminal to register with more than one earth station simultaneously, without any particular one of the earth stations knowing that the terminal is registered elsewhere. The multiple registration location register receives the registration information from each of the earth stations and records the information. This information is used by the multiple registration location register to re-route calls to an earth station that is providing coverage for the terminal. The multiple registration location register may consider many system factors, including satellite to earth station connectivity and satellite to terminal connectivity, in determining to which earth station it should route calls.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mechanism to integrate a telephone switching
system (23) into a wide area (WAN) or local area (LAN)
computer network, where in particular, a telephone switching
center is controlled by a server computer (22) utilizing a
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which is connected to a
WorldWideWeb (WWW) network. 
     Known computer telephone integration (CTI) solutions are
integrated on a network server and thus have the drawback that
due to the various different operating system platforms, in
particular in the area of Personal Computers or Workstations,
an interface has to be adapted to each client's platform. 
     It is therefore proposed to provide, between a HTTP server
(22) and the switching system (23), a control program (20)
which enables control of a CTI application by the HTTP server
(22), in order to integrate the functionality of a switching
network into the HTTP server (22). The proposed application
(20) provides an interface which uses a Universal Resource
Locator (URL) specifying high level communicating functions
which are independent of the respective interface (21) to the
switching system or the CTI server.

Abstract: The present invention has the object to decrease the peak factor of a
transmission signal and control impulse noise. The amplitude
characteristics are identical to those of a normal root Nyquist filter, and the
phase characteristics divide the passband into a plurality number, the root
Nyquist filters having the phase corresponding to each bit value of PN codes
with the length of the divided number are set on transmission and reception.
Accordingly, even when the transmission signal has a high amplitude peak
and a short connection time, the signal can be transmitted along the route by
decreasing the peak to control the peak factor. Also, impulse noise can be
restrained at reception.

Abstract: Refinement of motion block motion vectors to achieve a dense motion field for temporal video signal processing makes use of candidate motion vectors from a parent block (10) and neighboring child block groups (12) to determine the motion vector for a child block (14) within one of the child block groups. The vicinity of each candidate motion vector may be searched to obtain a trial motion vector having a minimum displaced frame difference measure, with the trial motion vector with the minimum displaced frame difference measure from among all the trial motion vectors being the motion vector for the child block. Alternatively each candidate motion vector may be applied to the child block, and the vicinity of the candidate motion vector having the minimum displaced frame difference being searched to obtain the motion vector for the child block. If the minimum displaced frame difference is not less than a given threshold, the child block is segmented and the process repeated until the child block size is a single pixel or the minimum displaced frame difference is less than the threshold.

forth in the present description is: An etching solution
vessel 1 comprises: a pair of walls parallel to a plane of
rotation of a wafer; and walls of curved surfaces, which
intersect the pairs of walls at a right angle, and whose
centers of curvature are the same, and which are spaced apart
from each other along a radius of curvature with a distance
of d therebetween; the etching solution is fed from a lower
part of the vessel; and a flow velocity of the etching solution
is adjusted at an arbitrary point between the pair of curved
surfaces just before a stream of the solution contacts with
a wafer rotating in the etching solution so that the flow
velocity is a velocity (rω), which is obtained by multiplying
a distance r between the center of curvature and the arbitrary
point with an angular velocity ω of the wafer or an
approximation thereof.

cross section, such that each lenslet subaperture is centered (at 40) between adjacent points
of interest on the first and second axes. The points of interest (22') are locations
corresponding to the positions of actuators (22) in an adaptive optics system. The camera
sensor array (28) has more cells per unit area than there are subapertures per unit area.
Only selected cells are activated, to provide for measurements at the approximate mid-points
of lines between adjacent points of interest (22') on the first and second orthogonal
axes. Thus the sensor array (28) has enough active cells to effect measurements in both
orthogonal directions without interference between the cells used for measurement in the
two directions, and without the need for multiple lenslet arrays or sensor arrays.
